Hi! I just finished watching "Doppelgangland", an episode of Buffy season3. Roughly 38:30 there is a scene where Buffy is fighting with vamp & pool stick. I noticed a slight nudge or cut.
Now it could be the way the scene was shot but...I don't know. The only cut BBFC database shows is in "Dead Man's Party". Could there be an error with these BBFC guys?
Anybody know about this? Especially those with R4 dvds?
Well, just bunged in my R4 Doppelgangland to have a look. It doesn't appear to cut away to abruptly or anything, but the BBFC are normally very accurate on their list of cuts.
At 37:25 Buffy hits a couple of vamps with the cue before it cuts away to Willow.
At 38:30 she is attacked by a vamp with the cue before taking it back and kicking ass! (just in case, you know!) she whacks him and he falls back on the cabinet glass before she hears Willow scream and then stakes the vamp with the end of the cue kinda nonchalantly behind her
It's difficult to compare the two versions by way of text here, but how does that sound compared to the R2? As I say, it doesn't look like anything is obviously skimmed, but I might be wrong - it's hard to tell!

Yes it's at 38:30-38:32, where buffy wrestles with vamp and takes the stick from him. Now there is a slightly different camera angle during this wrestle. However it's begining more and more to look like the way the fight was shot. Hope I made even somekind of sense...
